Ah, Tactic 1327(2)(b): "Try to win the argument by responding derisively to something the opponent didn't say." Reid pointed out, and quite accurately, that everything you said in that specific message applies equally to netbooks: features are stripped to make it as easy to carry as possible; if you value those missing features over size and weight, you are not the target customer; etc. This is NOT the same as saying that there's no difference. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
